I'm pretty sure there will be spoilers this week, so here's the new thread. Have at it...

lol was totally expecting the Nidaime to break out of the Edo Tensei. Smart of Orochimaru to have thought of transferring to a Zetsu body AND using them as the sacrificial bodies to counteract it though. Hashirama is a beast.

And I have to say, this was a pretty good chapter, even if it trolled the hell out of us by teasing next week's chapter with the flashback. Epic Madara and Kyubi vs Hashirama moment to end, awesome. I'm stoked to see that fight

This was the most uneventful chapter yet, it would have been better if they all said screw answering question lets go fight. I can't believe some people were saying this talking crap is more interesting then the battle that's taking place. I used to stick up for Sasuke now i can't he is officially boring.

Like others have said, these chapters aren't really covering new ground. It was cool to see Hashirama nearly wreck the room with his chakra alone. And Oro implies that he could even break free from Edo Tensei if he wanted, but he still decides to cooperate.

Sasuke's wishy-washiness is wearing on me though. He's already heard the truth from Itachi, Madara, Danzou...Sandaime. But he's still not satisfied, now he's questioning Hashirama about stuff that really doesn't even relate to what he's getting revenge for. This really makes it appear as if Sasuke is desperately seeking a reason not to carry out the revenge rather than searching for confirmation.

the god of the shinobi indeed! as badass hashirama is, tobirama is still my favorite hokage simply because he reminds me of a strict military leader with great tactical skills. that's really all i have to say about this chapter.

Quote by Cub-Sama: Say that to Raikage who's awesomeness can only be compared to what would happen if Samuel L MOTHERF*CKING Jackson and Mr. T had a child who was raised by Rambo. Even with Sage Mode I think Raikage can b*tch slap Naruto into next week.

I think this chapter flows well. I like how the Hokages were trying to go out knowing that some serious shit is going on out there. In contrast, it would be really strange if they just obey anything they are ordered to without some semblance of resistance (considering their personalities are still intact). Due to that, they felt like true characters with different issues and motivation instead of just talking-heads who spout narrative whenever Sasuke or Oro want them to.
